At least eight people were killed and 11 injured after the truck ploughed into crowds in Lower Manhattan.

The driver has been identified by law enforcement officials as Sayfullo Saipov, 29, from Uzbekistan.

He was shot by police after jumping out of the vehicle with what turned out to be two fake guns.

In the footage, broadcast by NBC, he can be seen running through the streets of New York clutching what appear to be two weapons in his hands.

He reportedly left a picture of an ISIS flag along with notes pledging allegiance to the group behind in the vehicle.
